Smoking in Bed a Mechanic I knew foresaw his own death by fire .

Yes  a Fire is a scary thing especially if it happens while you are sleeping. I had nightmares for years  when in second grade  we lost almost an entire family in Carrick where I lived at the time and Ronny one of 2 boys to die was in my second grade class at St. Basils .

Yes it still haunts me to this day every time I ride past where the home once sat.

So you can imagine just how haunting some one I knew prediction of his own death by fire  has haunted me . This is a true story I blanked the last names to Give Bill his privacy. and have not posted it as a link.

I meet Bill a very talented Truck Mechanic at a customer of mine in the south hills who does
Asphalt work. Bill was always a  fun guy to talk to any time he was always courteous and helpful any time I needed ladders or even a second hand. when  I was in the  equipment repair shop working on the phones
or alarm system .
One day in fall of 2000 I had to change a smoke detector in the shop that was causing false alarms
and when I showed it to Bill as to what the problem was he said it was a good thing they had smoke and heat detectors in the shop as he is always worried about fire as he and friend are smokers and have fallen a sleep in bed  .He was always worried he would die in a fire because of it.
I said You have smoke detectors in your place and he said he did  because he was so worried.

Sadly his words would come true as I woke up and started reading the Post Gazzette one spring morning in 2002  and there was his picture along with a friend he had died in a fire from a discarded cigarette. I was devastated as where his fellow employees  who worked with him.

The following is an Excerpt from Post Gazette 

BEECHVIEW: Fire blamed on smoking

A house fire in Beechview that killed two people was caused by a discarded cigarette, Pittsburgh Fire Chief Peter Micheli said yesterday.

The blaze broke out shortly before 10 p.m. Thursday at  Kenberma Ave. It started in the upstairs rear bedroom of the two-story brick home.

Janet M. 55 the home's owner, was found dead at the scene in that bedroom. She was identified through dental records. Micheli said she is the mother of a city firefighter, whom he declined to identify.

The second victim, William W., 52, was found badly injured in another bedroom. He was taken to Mercy Hospital, where he was pronounced dead just before midnight.

Micheli said investigators ruled the fire accidental. They attributed its origin to "discarded smoking material," which Micheli said meant a cigarette. Someone was probably smoking in bed, he said.

Investigators have an idea why the victims were unable to escape from the burning house, but Micheli said he could not release the information publicly.

There were no smoke detectors in the house, Micheli said.

Damage to the building and its contents was estimated at $25,000.

 Please if your going to smoke be careful do not smoke in bed and have working smoke detectors.

We have too many fire deaths  with out helping them along

What if Flight 93 was not headed for the White house but instead the USX Steel Tower in Pittsburgh ? an alternate theory with much darker intent

Flight 93 headed towards Pittsburgh instead of the White House? Preposterous you say.
Well maybe but then again Pittsburgh has a secret most people do not know about back in 2001.
Its that the AT&T building in downtown right across the street from USX Tower on Grant Street  and this building handles all international call and most of the internet traffic in and out of North America as well as much of cross country traffic at that time . Had the terrorists managed to knock the USX Tower into the AT&T building the damage and confusion caused by losing all those lines as well as what was going on in New York would have been devastating.
In fact the day of 9-11 US marshals with automatic weapons formed a perimeter around this building to protect it as well as federal court house as  seen on KDKA TV 2 and other local stations that day.
I am not the only one to realize this possible scenario I have talked to many others including pilots  who say it could have been done I am just the first to write and talk about it that I know of.


In fact this same scenario could have well played out in New York as  well as Nyex Telephone Exchange supplier to wall street could have been knocked out as well  when the towers fell imagine the confusion and  severe financial loss that could have been created had wall street been knocked out for months to a year  compared to a couple days. Had this or Pittsburgh been pulled off it would have created tremendous panic in the streets when no one can communicate.
with just the towers themselves falling many large radio and TV stations went off the air in New York
luckily some had back up sites but most did not. There is nothing worse during a panic than the ability to not be able to communicate to authority or loved ones. During 9-11 it happened nation wide for several hours where phone lines where jammed but imagine picking up the phone going on internet and having nothing.

If you go to the Flight 93 Memorial  in Shanksville Pa. and look at the placard which shows the flight path of 93 although yes it looks like it is headed for the White House it flew right over Pittsburgh

The first question I had to ask myself if the plane was headed to White House why did they choose this flight and wait so long before it  was taken  over they could have taken a much shorter faster route like they did to take out the towers.
OK so if it was the USX tower they where after why did they fly over Pittsburgh and not hit it ? this would have been when the fight broke out on board and the pilot was distracted and unable to take the objective. It is only a few seconds flight time from Pittsburgh to Shanksville the fight aboard would have been well under way.
 One would have to believe that well planned terrorists  would have more than one objective to hit if they where unable to hit the initial targets . It should also be noted that only a few air miles from where the plane went down are important towers which provide Cross country phone and data communication as well . Of course miles of fiber optics has been laid now along railroad tracks to help harden up communications but in 2001 not nearly the amount was available like it is today.

 If it is true there was a fight and this brought down the plane which in all likely hood did happen
 despite  conspiracy kooks  who insist a jet shot it down. Which yes there was a white jet seen in area but this was a small private corporate jet the FAA controllers  asked to look for the flight after it dropped off radar.

Of course all I have proposed is speculation and I doubt we will ever get the whole truth on 9-11
but what I conjecture makes a lot more sense than so many of the outright bizarre conspiracy's  now floating on the internet. I do not belive our goverment was involved in this attack bu that their laxness allowed it .I and others have always said we are too open to attack . Becuse just like the known EMP threats to this country we know people want to kill us every day but we ignore the dangers and do not harden up our infrastructure.

If you understand communications and also understand its importance then you know just how devastating 9-11 would have been had we lost international and cross country communications.

A very strange situation A long closed restaurant burns to the ground the day the original owner died.

Yes life has many strange and ironic events and twists   Some too strange to explain.

Take the case  of the former Rivers Edge Restaurant along Allegheny River Blvd. in Penn Hills Pa.
a long time staple from the 50's that lasted well into the late 80's when its Original owner Sonny Casale shut it down. The building then sat empty for almost 2 decades and then went thru 2 transformations the first attempt  around 2009 when restaurateur Mike Roman opened a Bistro which failed after 6 months and then  a Italian Restrorante known as Vincinos  which closed down last year after lasting only 3 months and which burned to the ground in a spectacular fire which initially trapped 7 Penn hills firefighters and injured 3 of them.

 The same exact day sadly  Sonny passed away .

. My dad and I did some wiring work for Sonny when I was a kid in about 1969 when he added on a bigger dinning room.   Sonny was a very generous man and thought it was great and got the biggest kick out  how my dad was teaching me the trade at the age of all of 10years old.

Sonny will be missed by all and so will that fantastic view from his restaurant  which sat high on the cliff above the Allegheny River. is no more I watched it go up in smoke several hours after the fire started after driving in from Altoona
Here is a picture I submitted to 1st responder news as I am one of their corespondents 

The fire was so overwhelming and complete we will probably never know its cause

Good Bye Sonny and may you Rest In peace it was good to meet some one so unique as you all those years ago

Interested in the Paranormal If you live in western Pa and have the time 2 great events are coming to Hill View Manor

Some upcoming Events at Hill View Manor you may even see me there speaking on crossing to the other side while going thru stage IV Colon Cancer

Animal Intrusion , Rouge Employee or Poltergeist Possibly all 3 a very strange occurrence at a closed for season business in New Castle Pa.

Some days you have to play Detective in my security business.

Take the other evening after a heavy snow storm in New Castle Pa. area  a customer of mine a retail swimming pool business  had both its Glass Break and motion sensor trip.
I got on scene in morning due to all the snow to find over a foot of snow totally covering the lot thick enough I could not drive in.

I trudge thru the snow and find the door is locked but when I enter I find 3 trash cans tipped and tubes of Lube Tube a gasket grease all over the floor.

 OK so I have a small animal attacking a grease product ??

Very strange animal would attack these tubes  stranger yet I thought was the caps missing what animal takes the caps off and carefully removes a product from a open container .

Plus with all the snow and no tracks where or how did the animal get in.

just my foot prints

At first I thought OK we have a rouge employee  coming in  when store is checked every other week and sniffing the glue making it look like this was work of an animal.
 ( very hard to get  decent temporary  seasonal employees for any business any more  )  and I had this happen at another business  but I was still not ruling animals  out 
 So I changed the locks for owner and I would check store in a week and no one else  would as we could tell when alarm is armed and disarmed  But just to be certain I set poison bait all over the store.
maybe it is an animal.

But if it was animals how are they getting in  and just how did the large piece of shelving bracket get on floor which caused the glass break to go off.

black bracket which fell on floor

Even the cops where kind of creeped out what was going on like it was a Poltergeist  in this store and since it one time served as State Police under cover division office  well anything was possible. with such strange goings on and no trace who or what was doing it. If you have ever studied the Paranormal ou would be creeped out too.

 They recommended a Trail Cam  which I installed works great for people but not small rodents  saw me coming and going and nothing else. I set the tubes container on floor filled with tubes and poison to prevent alarm motion going off and leave.

So a week goes by I walk in and once again  cans all knocked over  Lube Tubes all over floor and all the poison I put down gone it had been consumed. It was then I found when I walked back to little repair shop  that ceiling tiles had fallen and there I found several dead squirrels from Rat and Mouse Poison I had put down.
Apparently they had been living in the building all winter having got in thru a missing vent in attic.
thats why there was no prints in snow. 

OK case solved not a rouge employee or a poltergeist but squirrels. So just to be sure I brought the bitten tubes home put them in back yard where I feed a dozen  squirrels and sure enough they where immediately after them.  I have contacted the manufacturer who finds whole thing amusing but they can not answer why they are attracted to product as nothing of a food consumable  is in product. 

Black Panthers ? Mountain Lions in Pa. ? Yes there have been rumored sightings for many years.

Were they house hold pets released int the wild or people just misidentifying big feral house cats there has been persistent rumors of large mountain lion size cats and black panthers. as recently as this year of a black panther along Indiana Road in Penn Hills which a freind of mine clams to have seen a very large black type cat bolt across the road and up a tree.
So whats the truth?

http://hoothollow.com/Question%20of%20the%20Month/January-February%202012%20Is%20there%20a%20Puma%20Conspiracy.html
So many weird sightings of animals and creatures in Pa. its hard to keep track of them all.
that there are several groups formed in Pa over the years who study the phenomena.
 

http://www.centerforcryptozoologicalstudies.com/

 So what is going on are there really Big foots and black Pumas and Mountain Lions in Pa;s woods
ask any hunter and many have strange stories of things they have encountered in the woods and while experts are quick to dismiss sightings as mis-identifications Im not so willing to knowing just how thick and deep and dark our forests are in this state and having my self seen animals moving about at night which are unusually large . Like the Squirrel I have in my back yard thats as big as a ground hog.
So until some one kills one and brings t forth or can provide solid photo evidence it will be  just a wild tale or is it.
